Cheers grimlock . Thanks for your efforts in this thread.

Looking at the side, I think this will be an interesting game for us:

• Keays can go back on ball for a bit and have some more involvement in the play. Personally I think he's done pretty well in the seniors with the exception of his goalkicking, but he's playing a role where he doesn't get heaps of it.
• Allison and Rolls now get a proper audition for what they can add to our list next year.
• We don't look so ridiculously tall.

For the academy and reserves watchers, Clayton came out of the U16s with decent wraps on him didn't he? How has he gone since?

Gee a forward line of Walker, Close and Freeman doesn't look too bad (on paper at least).

 

[Fatcat08]

So Cutler didn't get up for this week. Injury report was pretty bullish on him playing this week. Looks a decent side there, far more balanced size wise. Pity its not telecast would be interesting to see how Rolls, Allison and even Bowes go. There's little excuse not to win this game. 3 More listed players and a pretty decent spread across all lines

Adding Smith in there makes it more than a little tall though

 

[scoman]

Sure there is a healthy amount of listed players, but very few genuine mids? Rekon we will get a touch up again. Really hoping we try to add some balance to our list this offseason.

 

[wattoxi]

Allison has had a big first quarter stat wise

 

[Mr Ripper]

Archie's done a shoulder, but they keep sending him back out there. Umps not bouncing in the centre circle for some reason. Close having best game for the season by a mile.

 

[acuguy]

Tell us more RIP. I am just off to the bottle shop to get a few beers. Need some entertainment!

 

[Mr Ripper]

Concentration has dropped off alarmingly in the last ten minutes.

Theirs or yours?

[James North]

Tough loss!

 

[DanT7]

Paps didn't play? Didn't realise he was injured.

 

[pOleK]

Only watching reserves a few times, would Clayton be due for a call up to seniors in the coming weeks? Seems to be racking up the numbers in the reserves.

How did Clayton and Skinner go?

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Hard to imagine Skinner set the world on fire with seven possessions, 3 marks and one tackle.

Depends what his KPI's are as a young key back. Who was he on and how did they go might be more relevant at this stage?

 

[Cockliff38]

Didn't think Clayton was ready for senior footy but sounds like a fair game...

 

[Mr Ripper]

What a sad reflection of the interest in this "competition" the BigFooty NEAFL board is.

Anyway... ressies are on at midday at Coorparoo tomorrow. Get down there and support these kids.

If you go I would appreciate knowing how a young Bushranger/Albury boy Fletcher Carroll goes in his first NEAFL game (for GWS). Cheers.

Qtr time, lions leading 31 to 20. Quite a few seniors present

 

[Cousin Jed]

Close clunking plenty. 41 29 at the half

 

[Simba Moyo]

Forwards taking some nice contested marks. Skinner looking good down back

 

[L Dizz]

Up 41 to 29 at the Half. Probably should be another couple up. Close is marking everything in sight, although his kicking is letting him down a bit. Clayton the pick of the mids for mine. My first look at Skinner and I like what I see.

He could earn himself a debut before years end if he continues to perform in the ressies.
